Laying in the bed way to early to.be up. What a great experience and time i and we had. I feel I learned so much about the island but also about myself. At the core finding our true purpose is left in the hands of the most high. I plan on being closer to family and focusing on spiritual things more than work. I love the water and love the island vibes.. simple is the way for me. We have some great pics and more to share. I am also excited to get back and get my rv tour started. I cant wait to get it in the next week or so, I cant wait to hit the road. The many colors and smells and taste are truly amazing..

Headed back to jamaica to work on our first diabetes reality tv show before we get ready for the tour. When we start the tour we will be very busy so had to take care of this..I will be on smile jamaica friday morning talking health and diabetes. Gotta love the plane, the first plane with reggae music playing.

What a true gift it is to be able to help the people, but to be able to reach the children is even more of an honor. This will be one of our stops in the Bronx. We are so excited about this stop and will share pics and video when we visit.

Glutathione is one of the central defense mechanisms the body uses to protect itself against the dangerous effects of chronic inflammation. Keeping your glutathione levels optimized is thus an important health and wellness strategy to help ensure a good quality of life.

Inflammation is a tool used by our bodies to protect itself against infection and damaged or abnormal cells.

Chronic inflammation however is something quite different and can lead to a large number of problems including those experienced by diabetics. It is for that reason that inflammation needs to be tightly regulated by your body.

Glutathione is a little molecule that exists in all the cells of our body. It plays many different roles in protecting our health. Unfortunately glutathione levels tend to be very low in cases where chronic inflammation is present; this in turn leads to even more inflammation.

The presence of chronic inflammation in diabetes causes an ongoing damage to the different organs and tissues affected. Part of this damage is due to the fact that the circulatory system becomes “stickier” to inflammatory cells and thus blockages of the small vessels are more likely to occur. These changes can lead to further depletion glutathione which in turn starts to have a body wide or systemic impact.

So an important question is how do I keep my glutathione levels optimized? You cannot eat glutathione directly; your cells need to produce it! The best way is by providing the precursors or building blocks that all cells can use to make their own glutathione. This is essential for your body to fight inflammation.

It is not surprising that the answer can be found in nature. Human milk is the ideal delivery system for these precursors and this is one of the many reasons it is so beneficial for the baby. However for obvious reasons this is not practical.

Over 40 years ago a team of researchers led by Dr Gustavo Bounous from McGill University in Montreal began looking at delivery systems and found that the ideal one came from a derivative of cow’s milk as it contained the critical proteins shared with human milk.

This product was eventually commercialized under the trade name IMMUNOCAL and is sold by Immunotec in the United States , Canada and Mexico. It is listed in the major reference that all doctors and pharmacists use, the PDR (Physicians Desk Reference).

Take action today and make a lifestyle change! Improve your nutrition and increase your glutathione levels to avoid the serious long-term effects of chronic inflammation.

I had the joy of speaking at their event the other day and meeting the team, this was such a great time and great group of people that have passion for helping people. I am hoping to be on one of the next covers but also to have them on the RV tour with me and doing some other great work together. Take a peek at their magazine and also their company, they have some great products for all conditions and supplements that can truly change your life. If your not taking supplements you really need to, its not about having something its about also preventing conditions.

Nutrition, Hormones, Anti-Aging Supplements, And More

Life Extension magazine is the monthly publication of the Life Extension Foundation. Members of Life Extension receive the magazine for free in addition to their other membership benefits.

With each issue, subscribers to Life Extension magazine receive potentially life-saving information they won’t find in most other publications.

I must say, this was one of the best trips i have ever had. I would say number one because of the company, number two the things we were able to accomplish, number three the country and the lovely island. I would say i gained about 5 pounds with all the good foods. So if i didn’t have diabetes before i left i am sure i could get it. Now thats not to say the food is not of quality but i allowed myself to go wild for a few days. The food tasted so good and when you have family and friends from the country they know all the little side spots that will blow you away.

We met with the biggest TV station in the island and they loved the idea of the show, we also met with Mrs Lyn who owns the restaurant Island Grill, they have some great food and were hoping to do some big things with her. The list goes on and on as we ran from Negril to Montego bay and Kingston. The whole time just having great times and singing and eating and laughing. If you need to find yourself and take a few days away to just enjoy life i would suggest finding a few good friends, getting away for a few days and leaving the cell phone and Facebook behind and enjoying the simple things of life. We are hoping to have the show up and running in the next few months and working on finding my own little spot to open where i can just enjoy the good life.

So i am off to Jam rock to lock in some meetings for my new reality TV show. We will be meeting with TV stations and Dr’s, radio stations you name it. We will be hosted by facebook.com/IslandGrill and many thanks to Sharon Parris-Chambers for helping set up so many amazing events. I know the show will find a great home on the islands. With so many dealing and living with diabetes on the islands, this show will be a number one show on many of the islands. It will show the people ways to live their best life as well as the seriousness of diabetes. So you may not hear from me for a few days as i may not have internet access, but i will make sure to keep you posted as much as i can and post some pics and all that good stuff. Until i talk with you stay healthy and much love.
